vilgurl and her 90

Mrs vil did good yesterday and we got all the lights working properly. Most problems were down to simple corrosion of the contacts so a quick clean up with a screwdriver and presto chango!

Next the more technical problems....

We fitted her military bumper and pressed aluminium numberplate

Think this needs addressing

Think this needs changing too

She could try setting fire to it and putting it out with the back of a heavy shovel.

Passport Office might be a bit iffy about another passport on the basis of changed appearance so soon after the name change though.

Mind you don't run over the duck.

Crossmember sorted



Military bumper all painted

Just need the pretty convoy flags now

Samin doesnt like the look of them.

Nae matter, it was a better item than the one it came with and it was just sat in the workshop so might as well have used it.

She is away this weekend to Italy for 2 weeks so I can get on with some jobs. Need to replace the front dampers and towers, and strip the r/h caliper down as it dives to the left like a brazilian footballer as soon as you touch the brakes.
Should be on the road soon though!

A quick lick of paint on the 'fenders bumper and she looks like new!! Nearly...

Looking good to see this coming along, get moving with it, i'm impatient and I have Defender withdrawal symptoms, mines been at the garage for a few weeks now

Its hard to do much on it as she wants to be involved with doing all the work, but thats hard to achieve when you have 3 kids....
Im going to try and get some of the bigger jobs done whilst she is away.

Not sure how to paint it yet, not sure if it will fit in the garage.

Looking good guys! Just make sure it's all ready for lz12

Will be. Wants to get rid of her sodding L200, so getting her 90 on the road will mean one less car on the drive.
Main issue to sort is the seats, all the rest of it is small cheese in £ terms and just needs me to knuckle down and get it done.

Ive not been in a 90 with forward facing seats, and wondering how much of a ball ache it will be with the kids if we install them. Also how big the boot is with them fitted? Can we fit a pram in?

I have absolutely no idea

Have you not got seats in the back o' yours?

nice 2.5na

can she cope with the speed?

buy a press and stuff for doing all the rubbers.. then i can come over and you can do mine!

The bushses are all pretty good, its just that one on the rear trailing arm. I keep meaning to order one.
Its actually pretty nippy! Its had the pump turned up waaayyy to much and lays down a smoke screen a destroyer would be proud of. Quite hilarious.
